PROGRAMS
The Gators Triathlon Club focuses on the development of life skills, such as goal setting, development of self-esteem, and social skills, and is combined with a diverse, high-performance athletic program.
The Gators programs provide a positive atmosphere that will motivate young athletes to achieve their maximum potential in the sport of triathlon through commitment, dedication, and perseverance, while having fun.
Training programs for Gators athletes consider age, ability and future athletic and personal goals. Training plans are tailored to each athlete and are flexible to ensure workouts are both fun and impactful.
Gators programs work toward the goal of competing in the St. Albert Kids of Steel Triathlon in early June. All Gators athletes are required to have a current membership with Triathlon Alberta.
